When your day seems topsy, turvy and as stormy as can be, there's nothing quite as tranquil as a nice hot
cup of tea. Come join me for a cup of hot Tea and a sweet treat before your bridge game or after your
bridge game. We will be discovering teas from around the world. While the custom of afternoon tea
originated in Europe, the beverage itself has ties around the world. Remember, HIGH Tea is served once
every other month alternating with the Afternoon Tea with savory and sweet treats. Check the calendar
for exact date and time.

   Afternoon High Tea

What is High Tea?
The drinking of tea not only became a social event for the upper classes, it altered the time and manner in
which they took tea. Afternoon Tea became the bridge between meals because many wouldn't eat their
evening meal until maybe 8pm. As such, Afternoon Tea became a 'mini meal' in itself. During this HIGH
Tea, you will sample expert tea pairings, I guarantee it to be a perfect pot of tea to accompany any of the
delicacies that are presented. It might be a collection of scones, savories, or sweets, any of these are
perfect for treating teatime guests to an international culinary tour without the need for a passport.
May all your teatimes be special this autumn!

simple moves with a SPONGE and the painting is done! All of the paintings can be done with little or no
brush work at all the sponge does 90-100% of the work. This has made Art For All Ages the fastest
growing Art program for seniors because it’s so easy EVERYONE can paint!

Marilyn Novaks Binky Patrol meet once a month at St. Edwards Church to work on projects or turn in
projects and get supplies for blankets from knitting, crocheting, and fleece. You do not have to go to
church to meet here. Anyone can make a difference in the life of a child. How would you feel if you lost
your home or in transition or trying to get to a safe place because you’re in a bad situation? How scary to
have to leave in the middle of the night, with nothing because of a fire. How nice to have something like a
blanket welcoming you. With just a few friends, neighbors, family members you can bring bundles of
comfort to children near you who are in need of a reminder someone cares. Not crafty, can’t sew! It’s
easy! - You do not need to sew! All you need is some fleece fabric, a pair of scissors and a little bit of time.
One of these can comfort a child and let him/her know that somebody cares. It just has to be from your
heart. They are always looking for volunteers, sewers and non-sewers. This is a great volunteer project.

"Scratch" is a dirty word to most people, but it's just how I operate. Scratch baker's are hard to come by in
a world where cutting corners to save time and money reigns supreme. My philosophy has always been
that taste and the quality of ingredients I serve my family and friends should not be sacrificed for any
reason. If it's not from scratch, it's not from Georgia's Edible Art. No baking, just tasting in this class. Do
you have a recipe that you would like to share and really don't have the time or really just don't want to
make it. Bring it with you to this class and I will make it and share it at the next class.

There are many people that experience unwanted foot conditions as the aging process occurs. This may be
a result of poor circulation or a loss of cushioning. It is important to wear shoes that fit properly and are
comfortable, and it may be beneficial to measure your feet regularly, which may ensure a correct fit.
Circulation may be improved by performing specific foot stretches, in addition to walking frequently during
the day. Some of the typical foot ailments that many seniors face may include athlete’s foot, corns and
calluses, or dry skin. Diabetic patients may need to check their feet daily for any cuts or bruises that may
be present. If these should go unnoticed, complications may arise as a result of the inability to heal
properly. If you would like additional information about how to care for elderly feet, it is suggested to
speak to a podiatrist who can properly guide you.
